00:00Warren, last night, Seattle played the Patriots.
00:03For you guys, when you guys were Super Bowl champions,
00:06coming back the following year,
00:08what's the biggest challenge for a Super Bowl team
00:11the following year after you guys win it?
00:14What was the biggest challenge for you guys?
00:19The competition is coming with everything they got
00:22because you are the new measuring stick.
00:24And I love Mike McDonald's little comment
00:27that we ain't defending shit.
00:29We don't have anything.
00:30It's a whole new year.
00:31It sounds good.
00:32But your opponent ain't thinking that, buddy.
00:34And as you saw last night, the New England Patriots, you know,
00:37were playing some good football in their first half.
00:39And I don't know what the hell Drake May was thinking in the second half.
00:41But, hey, you know, you got to find a way to get it done.
00:45And Seattle did last night.
00:47What about that Seattle defense, Warren, that impresses you the most?
00:50I mean, I think that John Schneider's done a hell of a job
00:52at building that football team.
00:54They look like they're pretty good at every level.
00:56What impresses you about that Seattle defense?
00:59They were committed on what they were doing, you know,
01:02because it looked like New England had them picked up their blitz
01:04early in the year, early in the ballgame,
01:06and they were completing pass and doing some stuff.
01:08Seattle was like, nah, you ain't got nothing for us, buddy.
01:11We're going to keep doing exactly what we're doing,
01:13and we're going to find a way to get it done.
01:15Boy, did they find a way to get it done.
01:16But, I mean, then had Drew Locke looking like a decent quarterback.
01:20Good job, offensive coordinator.
01:21Not going for too much.
01:23Just staying right within there and then going to your key guys in certain situations.
01:27And that, what's it, NKS or whatever that boy, ooh, he can play some football.
01:32Absolutely.
01:33Ward, you were a team that, back in the day, the Buccaneers,
01:38that was a defensive-centric team.
01:40Same thing like Seattle.
01:42How much does that put more pressure on you guys as a defense,
01:45knowing that the offense on the other side of the football is not really that good,
01:52especially when you've got a backup in and you guys got to carry the water?
01:55What was that like for you guys back in the day when you were the main pieces?
01:59No, they had a different challenge last night.
02:01When your quarterback goes down to field play of the game,
02:03you got a whole different challenge in a team that, you know,
02:06is good enough to go to the Super Bowl and play you in the Super Bowl.
02:08You got the real challenge in.
02:10And they had, they rose to the occasion last night.
02:13We just, it was just part of the course for us until Gruden came along and said,
02:17there's no way you're going to drag my offense around.
02:20We're going to score some points.
02:21And, you know, started holding them accountable for every snap that they had.
02:24That's the difference in the mentality between the Tony Dungy and the,
02:28you know, Gruden Bucs.
02:30I mean, we were defense-centric and we'd say, you know,
02:33three yards and just punt the ball.
02:34You know, we'll create field position for you.
02:36Gruden was like, nah, you ain't got to create.
02:39My offense is going to move them.
02:41My offense is going to throw the weight around here.
02:43I mean, that's what made us a championship team.
02:45Our offense scored when we needed them to score.
02:47And the words of the great Monty Kiffin, defense does not win championships.
02:51Defense gives you a chance.
02:53And your $100 million quarterback got to win it for you.
02:55It's a joke.
02:56You may know.
02:56Give me believe in You.
